I’m going to one-up you on this one! Which just really means I’m older than you…

I met Bonnie at a small college in Pennsylvania before her first album came out. She was opening for John Sebastian. Well, it was all downhill for poor Sebastian. I mean, Bonnie tore the roof off that place! The only other time I remember an opening act totally cripple the headliner was when I saw an unknown Steve Forbert open for Nicolette Larson. Larson’s beauty and even her backup band, which basically consisted of Little Feat sans Lowell George, just paled in comparison.

Since, I have seen Bonnie numerous times and she is a national treasure. Loved your story!

Mimeographs! That takes me back. I'm sure any reader of a certain age could smell this post!
